THE LATE BLOOMER

The Late Bloomer Oil, 24 x 24, St.Germain

NOTES

Not intended to imitate Georgia O'Keefe! But just came out this way... a wilted rose on my table kept in this position for longer than a weekso I decided to use my 24 x 24 inch canvas that I didn't know what to do with for a year. (nothing is cropped off the painting)It was like the lid was blown offof something I did not know was in meand I painted 14 more flower paintingsall 24 x 24 and a few 24 x 30 inches.That was a few years ago. I called them my Celebrity Collection. Lately I've been feeling inklings to do a few more:)
